Quoted: Didn't see any threads about motorcycles. Anyone down for getting an arf ride going? I'm not talking about rocketing around Denver but actually being safe and responsible. Chris not sure if you're talking about that but figured I'd throw my hat in the ring |

I can honestly say I am one of the riders that doesn't take unnecessary risks when it comes to bikes. I only ride when I know traffic is low to moderate and conditions are good. That's not saying that someone can't be distracted and still hurt/kill you on a bike but I like to minimize the risks involved if I can.

Where along the front range is traffic "low to moderate" ? Forget the texting, lately it's the Hey i'll hang a u-turn HERE, across a double yellow right after they made a right w/out stopping on red. Then there's the sure i ran a stop sign, so they do 20 under thinking that atones for their last fuk up. As right of way traffic come to a halt behind them, from the 40 mph they were doing |

Unfortunately there were some other circumstances there with him but yes, it's a good reminder to ride safe. For you dirt guys....I'm trying to plan a CDT ride sometime soon. I'm down here in El Paso now but will likely take it north through NM to northern CO and back. Any of you are more than welcome to meet up and ride some of it with me/us. I'll post up when it becomes a reality with solid dates. |

Excited to ride tomorrow!
Anyone interested in a on/road off road day long excursion? I was thinking of this- Start in Nederland. Sugarloaf road to Switzerland Trail Switzerland trail to hwy 72 Back through Nederland to West Magnolia. W mag to FSR105 105 to Tolland road Tolland rd to Mammoth Gulch Mammoth to Kingston peak Kingston to Alice/St Mary's glacier Down Fall river road to Empire/Idaho Springs We could run the trail backwards or head I-70 through BlackHawk and then up peak to peak hwy to Nederland. It would require plates and some skill. If anyone is interested please respond here. Ill start a thread if we get a few guys that would be into it. Everything posted is viewable on google maps I believe. |
